This is one of Patsy Cline's better-known compilations. The album consists of all Cline's big late-1950s and early-1960s hits. Unlike the massive-selling 12 Greatest Hits album, the version of "Walkin' After Midnight" on this album is the original version, not the remake. It also features her signature tune, "Crazy", as well as her other big hit "I Fall to Pieces", along with her 1963 hits, and even singles released after her death, like "He Called Me Baby" and "Always".
